I actually hadn't touched the game for over a month now, except for brief visits for things like the cooking daily. Been RPing Derek, and otherwise getting eating alive by work and a mystery illness that's getting its butt taken to the doctor next paycheck I get in.

BUT! I accomplished a WoW thing I am very proud of, especially considering that I pretty much rarely get very far on anything except my main hunter.

So...presenting...After one year, two different realms, at least six different attempts, and a reskinning job by WoW...I present my newly level 20 Droood, Rivercat.

So, since you snuck in while the bear butt was killing the minor mobs, and you went ahead and killed the big guy, who was about three yards away from the bear butt (and was the whole reason the bear butt was in there to begin with), wouldn't it be nice to at least say 'thanks'...and maybe even stick around long enough to help the bear butt with the next round of mob spawns so she can get the Big Bad Guy, too? You know, without dying when five of the minor buggers spawn all at once?

No?

And you wonder why I play horde as my main. To borrow vernacular from my teenage years, you, kind sir, suck.

...this doesn't apply to the nice human mage who enchanted my bracers for no reason other than to do it. You're okay.

The rest of you need to act more like Horde, though. 'Cause really? It's a sad day when the 'good guys'* treat each other worse then the 'bad guys'. :P

Sincerely,The bear butt-in-training (AKA: Rivercat).

*I realize that, for the most part, 'good' and 'bad' is relative, even in WoW, but Ally is traditionally recognized as the 'good' side when that's an issue. ;)

I suspect most of you already saw this, but for those of you who are interested in WoW and don't follow the comms (or of course missed Blizzcon on Friday), have a look, if you don't mind being spoilered, that is. :)

And if anyone wants to buy me a new graphics card and/or larger memory card for my 5 year old Lenovo so I can play the game when the Xpac releases, well, now you know what to get me for the holidays.

...it's really, really hard to aim around that big cow butt, especially when it insists on wading into the fray with mallet flaying all about. :)

(Managed to pick up a 'questing buddy' the past few days. Guy plays both a belf spriest, which is how we met, and a Tauren Shammy (among others I have not 'met' yet). He helped me earn 'Defender of the Timbermaw' I helped him rep grind, and he showed me how to get to Outland.)

Second note: Love the sky in Outland. The ground however tires my eyes out very quickly. And it's bleak in a way that Durotaur and the Burning Stepps are not. But then, that is the whole point... :)

ETA; And no, I didn't get roflol stomped by a Fel Reaver yet...

We just got almost roflol stomped by the other things there when we ran away from the Fel Reaver. And then were rescued by a gnome DK. :D

Lvl 56.Mostly (99.5%) solo.Habit of trying to run dungeons on my own after I get 20 levels or higher than the mobs.Usually use my cat.Got used to ranged attacks (finally), but still okay with the idea of smacking things with the sword.Do not use traps. At all. Yes, I know this supposedly makes me a Bad Hunter. :P

If you know me, you know I'm good at putting things off until the very last minute and then trying to get it all done in two hours, like whoa. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes not, but it's an annoying little trait I have that I'm not always successful at overcoming.

And yes, the cats are already set up for vets visits. Next week. At the same time. Whee! :P

And there's an amazing amount of relief involved in knowing there'll be a cush in the bank again once the cats are taken care of.

Also: Something only people who have done the Steamweedle Cartel quests will understand.

#%%$^@!!!! Chicken!@$Q#^#^@%!! Scorpids!!!!!

What's even sadder? Got killed, rezzed just as a pally was leading his own chicken through the scorpids, helped him, got invited to group..but we forgot to add me to the quest (I lost my chicken). So when we got into town, he got credit, but I did not.

Now I have to remember where I get that stupid beacon from (Ratchet, I think), so I can try it again. Alone. The pally was sweet though--he tried to give me the helm he got as a quest reward, and was disappointed when he figured out it was soulbound.
